Betta The betta setup at my job

Since we are sharing betta setup, I wanted to share the one from the pet store I work in. The tanks have a constant water change system (which renews the water very slowly) and there's an opaque separation between each cube so that the bettas can't see each other.

Help/Advice Bacteria keeps dying.

Thumbnail gallery
114 Upvotes

Background info I cycled the empty 23 gallon tank for a month before seeing Nitrates and added fish gradually. 10 Cherry shrimp, 13 neone tetras, one Beta and two Sword tails. I feed the fish twice a day. AMOSIJOY 172GPH Canister Filter, with a floss pad, carbon sponge, ceramic filter rings, and Bio balls.

My problem is that my bacteria seems to die every 2 weeks or so. I see my Nitrates fall to zero, then the ammonia starts to go up slowly. I was told that maybe my filter is doing too good of a job and starving the bacteria. Is that possible? I keep having to add bacteria to the tank and I am wondering if I should just add more fish to creat more waist. I think the ammonia spike caused the beta to get a touch of fin rot, I am currently treating him for it and he is doing well. Adding the Nitrate/Nitrite readings for this tank (left) and a shrimp tank (right)

TLDR: Bacteria dies off (I think it's being starved), should I add more bio load or change the filter to something else. Also, is there something that may be killing the bacteria?

Hey this is my store, Fish Happens. I’m really impressed with the displays I have seen! We do not keep bettas in cups here! The wood rack is painted black now to match and I think I’m going to re scape based on the betta displays I have seen today! Thanks for your input! Indianapolis Indiana here ❤️

Help/Advice Snail id pls. Managed to capture a really cool video of this guy. Watch him turn and look at me filming him

Upvotes

This snail is a hitch hiker in my newly setup tank (dirted planted mid tech). I had posted a similar snail id post not too long back and most said its a mini ramshorn. I m unsure whether this is the same one which has grown up a bit. Will attach tank details in a comment below.

Snails are living in it since week 3, today we planted some Lilaeopsis Brasiliensis in the front, next weekend we will plant the mid- and backgroundplants. About a week later fish will come and If everything works out there will be shrimp next month.

Just bought my second today, which will serve as a growout for when my two bristlenoses breed.

The addiction grows...

(I'd be interested to know your favourite fish, by individual's name or by species, and some of your fish's names if you'd like to share)
